Project Meridian-Core
Enterprise Systems Modernisation & Cloud Architecture at Scale
Challenge
A global professional services enterprise required sustained architectural leadership for its core internal operations platform — a business-critical system supporting enterprise-wide operational workflows at scale. The platform had grown as a monolithic application and was approaching sustainability limits.
AI Solution Applied
Served as Principal Architect over a 5+ year programme: monolith decomposition to modular platform aligned with Azure managed services, enterprise integration architecture connecting ERP, service management, and workforce systems via versioned contracts, Azure cloud architecture, and sustained delivery governance.
Business Outcome
Successful migration of a business-critical enterprise platform to Azure with no operational interruption. Integration architecture replaced fragile point-to-point dependencies with governed, versioned contracts. Sustained architectural leadership prevented progressive architectural drift.
Enterprise Relevance
Addresses the most consequential architectural challenge: modernising a system too critical to stop, too complex to replace wholesale, and too integrated to move without cascading risk. Demonstrates disciplined sequencing — incremental decomposition with operational continuity guarantees.
